Overview
Autism therapy and services in Plano
Tucked into West Plano at 5025 W Park Blvd, this Cortica center brings together pediatricians, neurologists, therapists, and counselors for children and adolescents up to 17 years old across Collin County and the wider DFW area. Under one roof, families can access autism diagnostic evaluations, brain-based ABA, early intervention (the Jumpstart program), speech-language and occupational therapy, music therapy, pediatric medical visits, and mental health counseling. Every discipline shares a location and coordinates actively on each child's treatment plan.
Best for
Families who want to skip the scramble of juggling multiple providers — Cortica Plano covers diagnosis through ongoing therapy and medical care in a single coordinated setting.
Their approach
All clinicians and medical providers work at the same site and communicate regularly across treatment plans, so progress in one area actively informs the others. The center takes a neurodiversity-affirming stance that builds on each child's individual strengths.
What to expect
The process starts with a Telehealth Welcome Visit where the team reviews your insurance, checks benefits, and handles all prior authorizations directly. There is typically no waitlist for welcome visits, ABA assessments, or developmental therapy evaluations, and sessions can begin soon after initial assessments wrap up.
